Dear The Real Singapore,
Being a muslim Singaporean I am quite worried to see some group of local Singaporeans openly supporting the ISIS as they are deemed as an extremist group that has nothing to do with Islam.
The terrorist organization ISIS has set a new low standard of barbarity and inhumanity. Their most recent act of terrorism is a demand that Christians either convert, pay the jizya, leave their homes, or be killed. Their destruction of an 1800-year-old church in Mosul is painful, condemnable without exception, and wholly in violation of every Qur'anic principle. In fact, the Qur'an 22:41 specifically commands Muslims to protect Churches from destruction.
Most of my muslim friends condemn the ISIS and shouldn't the Internal Security Act be used on such people? Why is the Singapore government abusing the Internal Security Act to arrest innocent oppositions back in the 80s but not used on such dangerous supporters of ISIS? These people if they go to the middle east to join the war, they might come back to Singapore as a terorrist.
See more photos of their Facebook profile:
Nothing in Islam or Prophet Muhammad's example supports ISIS's barbarity. The below modified excerpt from my book EXTREMIST addresses the issue of jizya and dhimmis directly -- and shows without question that ISIS's acts have nothing to do with Islam, and Islam has nothing to do with ISIS. Indeed, it is an insult to 1.6 billion Muslims worldwide to call IS as "Islamic State." The more accurate term is Ignorant Savages.
I really hope that the Singapore government instead of abusing the Internal Security Act to fear-monger innocent Singaporeans and politicians they should use it accordingly on such dangerous people which are actual threat to the national security of our country.
Worried Singaporean
